The Verasen Cardigan is worked in one piece in the round from the top down to the armholes, after which body and sleeves are worked separately. Short-row shaping is used to create a more comfortable fit in the back. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.

Needles: Circular needles 2.5 mm and 3.25 mm. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. Please note, short-row is worked best with DPNs or a spare circular needle 3.25 mm.

Notions: Buttons with a diameter of 15-18 mm, 8-10 pieces (depending on the length of the cardigan)., 2 markers; stitch holders; cable needles; waste yarn.

Gauge:
30 sts and 42 rows over 10 cm in in pattern stitch worked in the round with 3.25 mm needles after wet blocking.

Charts:
These charts are worked using slipped stitches. Unlike Fair Isle, there are no color changes during the round, no threads floating at the back of the work – or at the inside of the sock. Each round is worked completely in one color. At the end of each round, pick up the next color from underneath the color you just worked with to create a jogless striping (do not twist yarns).

When you work the pattern back-and-forth, you alternate between two right side rows and two wrong side rows.
